Is Marching Band a Sport?

Fuck yes

I’m yes it is. It’s just not a contact sport If marching band isn’t a sport, neither should be golf 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

I just have to add my argument. Marching band is, by definition, a sport. And even if you don't consider it a physical sport like football or baseball (although with all the visuals it's just as much of a sport as any form of dance), it can still be considered an academic sport (much like chess and other mentally taxing competitive academic sports). Marching band is both physical (try jazz running with a sousaphone in 172bpm) and mental (again, academic sport), and can be considered a sport in both respects. Meanwhile, if one believes that marching band cannot be considered a sport due to the it's "lack" of possible injury, then I would like to introduce you to the people running around on the field with literal swords, guns and flags. :)

I predict that the people who said no have never been in a marching band.

By definition, yes

I said no, but then I looked up the definition of sport and now I changed my mind. it qualifies

“Sports includes all forms of competitive physical activity or games which, through casual or organised participation, aim to use, maintain or improve physical ability and skills while providing enjoyment to participants, and in some cases, entertainment for spectators.”-Wikipedia So I’d say it qualifies.

My high school’s marching band runs stands with the football teams and practices with the drill team. My college marching band whipped my SO into shape. It’s a sport. Also, there’s always a really good turn out for the annual marching band competition.

Yes, it is. My sibling is in marching band and they make them exercise, otherwise they wouldn't be able to last running around while playing for 5 minutes. Try singing and running and tell me how good it sounds.
